these are the images the world seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day. so i turn our t.v. turkey gives the green light to military operations beyond the country's borders following wednesday's deadly shelling from syrian territory. and as the west rushes to blame president assad for the cross border violence moscow's calls for restraint on both sides and highlights the lack of global condemnation for the terrorism that's killed dozens in the lead. also after the rug says protesters stormed the greek defense ministry in the latest shows despair in the struggle.

eight pm thursday night here moscow welcome this is r.t. live with me kevin now in our top story turkey's parliament has authorized the military to engage in cross border armed operations following the shelling of a town from syrian territory on wednesday meanwhile tension on the border is worsening with turkey renewing its return to tree shelling of its war torn neighbor for a second day. a middle east correspondent has more. as expected the turkish parliament has voted overwhelmingly in favor of also wising military operations in syria what this does mean is that it now has given the green light for cross border operations the deputy turkish prime minister has gone on record saying this is not a declaration of war but it certainly is sending out very warning messages now while this meeting of the parliament was being held in the capital city of vancouver outside antiwar protesters were chanting slogans such as

a no to wall the syrians all our brothers used tear gas to disperse this crowd of antiwar demonstrators but certain it's another sign of just how fluid and how intense the situation is at the moment turkey continue to fire artillery at syrian targets into the early hours of thursday morning the exact extent of the turkish operation is still unclear but according to several sources there were several syrian soldiers who were killed in these military strikes the turks also called for an emergency management of nature and that was held on wednesday night in brussels and also urging for the united nations to take action and necessary steps to stop what they are quoting syrian aggression so certainly the turks again very quick to go on the offensive but the syrian side they are urging restraint they have formally given condolences to the families and friends of those who were killed and at the same time that they have said they are launching an investigation it's still

not clear who exactly fired this mortar into turkish territory it didn't land in a residential building killing five members of one family and injuring another thirteen people. pull asli other well turkey approved cross border military operations moscow's calling for calm on both so i don't engage in dialogue more on the russian foreign ministries reaction. the international community hasn't been quick to condemn the actions of syria but sergey lavrov calling on a more reasonable diplomatic and restraint a reserved approach if you will he says that both sides it's important for them to engage in dialogue specifically in the flight of the recent events where turkey has approved military involvement to go across the border now he also says that if that syria is to blame for this incident on wednesday then they should make a public statement saying that as much now damascus has in turn stopped short of

claiming responsibility but it has said that this was a tragic mistake and is assured that they will work hard to try and prevent mistakes like this from happening in the future now this also comes out during a week of a much more violence in syria specifically in aleppo a town at near the border which saw four blasts and thirty people dead in relation to this usually the west is quick to condemn events or terrorist actions like this but when it comes to syria they seem to turn a blind eye this is what sergei lavrov had to say about that. we cannot ignore other aspects of the syrian tragedy yesterday a series of terrorist attacks killed dozens of people but for several months our partners at the u.n. refused to condemn terror attacks on syrian territory the u.n. security council always stresses that there is no excuse for terrorism and the fact of their western colleagues refrain from that position now regarding what terrorists do in syria is

a very worrying signal. now is specially in light of recent events with of the turkish parliament agreeing that they're allowed to use military across the border into syria two important focal points number one the international community has to acknowledge that there is terrorist activity in syria and number two syria and turkey need to open their lines of communication and discuss things so things don't get out of hand well because we thought so no one have a nice has an opinion from the u.s. michael maloof say he's a former pentagon official who joins us from washington. and your view what are the chances of turkey's decision turning into more action and if you did out so much that you think. i think turkey's going to be very very cautious if you look at the example of the shoot down of the aircraft they did go to nato they did everything under article four they did it again as a result of this incident i think turkey it's in turkey's interest to proceed very very cautiously they don't want to get into a full. conflagration with with with the syrians and also you have

a lot of background pressure particularly from the russians for calm i think that they still need to determine and then confirm that the shelling or the mortar attack actually came from the syrian government as opposed to opposition which might have been trying to bring the turkish. troops into into the fight so i think that there still needs to be an investigation of that and but i think turkey's going to remain very cautiously be very cautious now i don't think that they're going to try and get nato to launch under article five. frankly i don't think nato would be in the position or know or desire to have a desire to do that consequently i think that. i think that rather than push that issue and thereby causing a potential rift between turkey and nato i think turkey is just could conceivably

as a result of the authorization of its parliament at least set up a buffer zone just inside turkey just inside syria to prevent this from happening again you point out the very big question still is who actually fired in the first place and the u.s. as well as most western states were quick to blame the shelling of the take a stand on president assad called it an act of aggression but why would a sad forces create how that at the border when so much may i mean side the country begs that question doesn't it. no i absolutely agree and i think this is a problem you've got opposition forces they're there and they they they are desperate they they are low on ammunition there and i think they would love to have turkey get into the get into the fight they're moving they've moved their headquarters from turkey into to syria and that's going to set up

a logistical problem for them in coordination with forces inside of turkey to bring in more ammunition and and logistics to back them up but what would be an easier way then to set up a situation where where you bring turkey into the into the fight and in order to provide that kind of distance that they really need i don't rule that out. and the solace of working there in that in that region there they're very very good at that kind of a set up to talk about the condemnation that the western condemnation of the syrian military shows that on the same day as the deadly terror attack in aleppo why was washington solid about why do you think in. your opinion and with your experience having worked at the pentagon. well unfortunately where we're put the united states is put on the side of of al qaeda in this case because of the opposition there they

probably look upon them as freedom fighters at this point which is unfortunate but they're going to going to criticize people that they're back even though they should. the ultimate goal of the united states is for regime change alternately to strike back at and to limit the influence of iran. as a consequence but the. fact that the united states is teamed up with opposition elements that. sells and it is very disturbing for for a lot of people and consequently there's silence in criticizing the terrorist attack is deafening at this point my colleague thanks for your thoughts from a pentagon official as you know a lot of washington. thank you but we got some more thoughts too on it and he will campaign against spoke to us he told us that if turkey decides to increase its military actions it could endangered peace back home. prime minister erda one may

think he's very clever in lobbying artillery shells over the border into syria but what he may actually be doing is shooting himself in the foot taking military action opens the pandora's box. kurdish demands for a separate state. the kurds say to themselves or a certain kurdish parties say to themselves yes the turkish government and in syria to change the boundaries and the borders in the middle east we too can demand the changing of the borders in syria as a clue to include the kurdish state. so this is the kind of blowback that mr airline gets when he and sell in illegal military action across international borders well we will of course update you on how the situation in syria and turkey develop so the course of the it will bring more opinion and analysis as it comes

into us. greek riot police have fired tear gas to disperse dozens of protesters trying to storm the country's defense ministry five people were injured in those clashes and seventy arrested now the latest show a fury was staged by a shipyard workers who say they are being paid for the year it comes as greece to go say it's a fresh cut package with international lenders in exchange for another cash injection investment analyst patrick young told me the country's government's got no control of the situation they think. you know the troika these people who come along and demand cuts they've been coming for the last several years every time they go away they think they've got a deal in the greek side people to stick to it so this time around everybody has finally got to the point where they realize well they might make a deal they might not make a deal but actually we've got all of these facts coming along ridiculous pieces of information and grown pre-surgical speaking built in the greek hinterlands with

money the truth is the greek government is just out of control it is the ultimate vodka addict in a pool of vodka. ok but while the suits tussle over the numbers it's those who have no voice who are increasingly the victims reporting reporting that children are paying the price now as parents are forced to abandon their own kids because they can't afford to feed them stories just ahead also. as well as what the media over child is faces his younger challenger in sunday's presidential vote we explore the international media at your job that's doing the rounds plus. new hope for russia's military aviation as dumbbells the new edition the four seven six transport flight more on that's another story so after a short break here. remains

a mystery even for specialists how a voice can produce several sounds it wants to do the means the art of throat singing comes naturally picked up like a language. a language of communicating with nature it said that's where throat singing originates from the unions believe not only animals but also all surrounding objects like reverse forests and even stones souls by imitating the sounds they believe assumes to capture the power of nature. to get to one of the five main stars of the groups engine it imitates the gentle breezes of summer chara whose name means great hunter says he first be saddam.

to our space. the instruments that accompany the singing give gainey says there is even a legend about his instrument a gill it says once there lived a poor shefford who had the best horse that won every competition but jealous people killed it on the horse was revived as an instrument book at the residence there but its role is because of the spirit of the horse came to his dream and said make an instrument from the tree the sounding board from the leather of my face the strings to my tail and to remember me make an engraving of my head part of the instrument he did so i called the instrument a gear which means come back and this melody only instrument is called cry over again.

this is our tape now there's only a month left of course before us alexis new president barack obama or mitt romney of just made it through their first presidential debate joe but the latest c.n.n. poll shows the incumbents taking a beating artie's got you can followed last night's debate. mr romney did seem more alert he actually did better than many thought he would considering all his gaffes and misfires in this election campaign he of course took advantage of the fact that the recovery under president obama has been slow the country is running a huge deficit gigantic debt more than sixteen trillion dollars that's one hundred four percent of the nation's g.d.p. the president's main argument was that mr romney wants to go back to the same qualities that landed the u.s. and the world for that matter in the economic mess four years ago that everybody's

still struggling to recover from so there was a lot of back and forth about who's going to be paying for his wife and how they both gave different numbers citing different studies at some point you guys kind of confusing but in general it looked as if one of them was saying he wants to raise taxes and the other one goes no he wants to raise taxes or we need regulation and the other one would say are you agree so in the context of this debate they agreed on a lot of things but the devil is of course in the details but as they try to get into details and numbers it got even more confusing still have two more debates in the coming weeks we'll hear more about the candidates foreign policy a vision for now in most states president obama is leading in the polls although by a very small margin there are going pretty much the neck but it's important to mention that in the us candidates might win the majority of the popular vote and still lose the election because it's not the popular vote is the so-called electoral college that decides the outcome of the presidential election every state

gives the candidate the certain number of points and the winner has to collect the number two hundred seventy points even if a candidate loses a stage by just say three votes they get zero points that way it's a very peculiar electoral system which is not really about the will of the majority so not only are the americans stuck with just two choices because it's a two worst race system but they're also not guaranteed to get the president that the majority of american voters cast their votes for one more thing almost. half of americans identify themselves as independents that's according to a gallup poll forty percent the fact of the matter is there are other candidates in this presidential election but they've been pushed out of these major debate so very few know anything about them they're not even on ballots in all states because different states have different requirements essentially designed to keep it at two horse race. a correspondent in washington there is only about may and trying to push their way to the top of politics online the story of the kitchen woman has got

but on the front line of the debt crisis rampant unemployment in greece and the slashing of social benefits has left their parents with money to provide even their most basic of needs for may seem unthinkable has happened these children taken into care. for during the past two years we have seen a large rise in the number of children coming to us because their families can't support them because taxis and prices have risen things like food clothing schooling and housing have become too expensive. before the financial crisis this children's village which is run by the organization s.o.'s children usually looked after kids who'd been the victims of abuse now they say almost all new cases are as a result of the debt crisis this center privately funded through donations is also

feeling the pinch. we've seen a significant drop off in donations people get what they can but that is getting worse and worse also we are taxed on what we receive move a burden to buy things we need like fuel for whom. the charity says there's been a seventy percent increase in requests for help this children's village is home to forty youngsters near to thessaloniki and it's operating at close to maximum capacity i met one mother who asked not to be identified because of the stigma attached she says she was forced to give up her young daughter after losing her job . it was a non-food decision to have to make what could i do there was no money and no work i asked her if she thought they would ever be reunited as a family you know things are going from bad to worse here it could be ten years before greece is back feet s.o.'s children makes a point of trying to keep youngsters in contact with their biological parents for

welcome to the business updates on now a new hope for russia's military aviation as the country unveils its brand new transport the illusion for seven six which is basically a remake of the classic seventy six which that around from forty years now the military alone and russia's what is around one hundred of these and more orders are expected to come out of seas you go to school for girls. who are right inside the idea of star aircraft factory in the square the brand new we use in seventy six m d ninety are constructed in fact one of them is being assembled as we speak so the two main things. which need to be said about the sarah craft dispersed of all it's being built on a base up of

a well known edition seventy six which has been used for decades and is still widely used by the military and civil aviation in eastern europe asia and african nations in fact he's planes are still used to deliver supplies to the alliance forces in afghanistan so it's already a very tested and reliable machine three quarters of the new aircraft had to be redesigned including the engines the wings avionics and radio navigation equipment which make it go faster further and carry more weight traditionally these planes are several times a less expensive than their western. well let's take a look at what's happening on the markets first to the united states where the official labor department reports has come in and it's an initial jobless claims are at three hundred sixty seven thousand for the month of september which was a bit better than expected and therefore we're seeing positive dynamics over in

europe but we've also seen a pretty flat day looking mixed at the close of the session and that's on the back of the e.c.b. keeping its a key benchmark rate unchanged at no point seven five percent. in russia we've had another bad session up to choose day and wednesday so the third consecutive day of loss is that says oil prices remain a below ninety dollars per barrel and on the currencies markets the euro is seeing a massive gain at one point three two the dollar as you can see the key level and the russian ruble is losing value towards the euro and that's after mario druggy said that basically pledged support to the currency saying it's irreversible and say when a guy who's the deputy head of russia's central bank talks about his outlook for the. soon

a lot of for what the presumed free zones are with their friends in the rear soon and lodging of balances with several bonds and you know first wave all that moves into the markets but it's not enough would have to see news coverage right the for the rest of the time no we were both very much luxembourg very much dependent on the capital account one case will soon be up to three for some sort of zero balance you know pushing our borders books to. more and more business in an hour and coming up next on artsy we talked to renowned economist robert skidelsky he explains why osteria t. is failing and why governments need to take human nature into account. today i'm talking to north robert skidelsky he's a professor of political economy.
